18 - PERL_VERSION can now be a full URL or a directory.
19 - default to stableperl.

211.44 Tue Jul 7 01:32:49 CEST 2015
22 - added Net::SSLeay hint, tested and improved by gleeco.
23 - fix quoting bug, avoid failure when EXTRA_MODULES contains spaces.
24 - enable build_requires_install_policy to work around one of the myriad
25 bugs in Module::Build.
26 - support concurrent access to the DLCACHE.
27 - install ExtUtils::CBuilder early, to improve chances of succeeding
28 slightly by having a newer version.
29 - patch ExtUtils::CBuilder::Base::have_compiler to always return
30 false, as ExtUtils::CBuilder blindly builds shared libs on systems
31 that cannot build shared libs and modules relying on it usually
32 fail for similar reasons.
33 - set LD/CC/LDFLAGS/CFLAGS to work around the endlessly buggy ExtUtils::CBuilder,
34 which incidentally is a byproduct (read: garbage) of Module::Build.
35 - be more aggressive about post-install patching, to avoid stuff falling
36 through the cracks.
37 - override MAP_TARGET for ExtUtils::MakeMaker, as some modules
38 provide their own name for the perl binary (which is not what we want).
39 - update DynaLoader patch for current ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
40
411.43 Wed Apr 18 14:38:43 CEST 2012
42 - remove the temporary MakeMaker patch, as either Pod::Parser or
43 MakeMaker have been fixed. Also make sure we pull MakeMaker
44 from CPAN. This might fix the CPAN dependency problems with
45 newer perl versions (at least 5.14.2).
46 - staticperl mkperl or mkapp didn't clean up temporary files.
47 - PPI::XS seems to be broken, directly depend on PPI.
48
491.42 Mon Mar 5 08:16:02 CET 2012
50 - actually, really do it.
51
521.41 Mon Mar 5 08:14:11 CET 2012
53 - temporarily patch ExtUtils::MakeMaker because newer versions
54 break Pod::Parser.
55
561.4 Mon Jul 18 09:33:48 CEST 2011
57 - new configuration variable DLCACHE to avoid repeated downloads.
58 - the static:: namespace was wrongly documented as sttaicperl::.
59 - provide no compiler flags apart from -Os anymore by default.
60 - staticperl clean now removes all build files (src/).
61 - staticperl no longer sets EV_EXTRA_DEFS or CORO_INTERFACE.
62 - patch ExtUtils::Miniperl to always include DynaLoader, otherwise
63 static linking disables later dynamic linking and vice versa.
64 - (experimental) do not build a new perl unless a static archive
65 was created, to make -Dusedl faster.
66 - actually fail when not being able to install some modules from CPAN.
67 - speed up installing modules from CPAN if multiple modules have
68 been specified.
69 - weed out duplicated libraries form the beginning, not the end.
70 - set shell variable $PERL to full path to perl binary
71 when running staticperl cpan, which is handy for subshells.
72 - properly define "boot_DynaLoader" when DynaLoader is available.
73 - fix a memleak in static::list.
74 - mkbundle can now bundle dynamic objects for perl extensions
75 (--allow-dynamic).
76 - lots of windows workarounds/bugfixes.
77
781.31 Tue Jun 14 09:03:59 CEST 2011
79 - pause is more tricky than expected - rename fake.pm to Staticperl.pm.
80 - improved documentation a bit.
81
821.3 Tue May 10 19:39:39 CEST 2011
83 - the nothing-to-see-except-a-version-bump release.
84 - package a fake.pm file to (maybe!) get CPAN to allocate namespace
85 for us, as people have real trouble to install the distribution.
86
871.22 Sun May 1 11:28:54 CEST 2011
88 - prepend staticperl binary install path to PATH when running any
89 commands - will help many broken modules and scripts (e.g. those
90 using the broken #!env perl hack), but will also make life easier
91 for "staticperl cpan / look" users.
92 - use empty PERL_OPTIMIZE flags in testsuite for higher portability.
93 - unset PERL_CORE and PERL_MB_OPT variables because
94 these modules are part of perl - set them in your staticperlrc
95 instead.
96 - disable MAN1PODS and MAN3PODS in PERL_MM_OPT, to make Glib, Cairo,
97 Pango and Gtk2 build.
98 - patch ExtUtils::MM_Unix to search for static archives in blib more
99 often, as it doesn't detect Pango as being an XS module (which
100 is a bug in Pango).
101 - create a patch helper (SP-patch-postinstall) that is executed
102 after perl and eahc module install to do some important patches.
103 - rename the cpan-make-inmstall helper to SP-make-install-make.
104 - write mkbundle to bin/SP-mkbundle.
105 - new "staticperl perl" command.
106 - updated small/bigperl to 5.12.3.
107
1081.21 Fri Mar 18 19:21:15 CET 2011
109 - ok, irix tar has no working -f and freebsd tar goes to a device
110 by default, so screw irix and go with freebsd.
111 - some bloke thought it's cool to force dynamic linking on darwin.
112 force as in "either you enable it, or the resulting build will be
113 forcefully broken". proves that whoever uses darwin deserves it.
114 anyway, we now patch away the idiocy in the hints file.
115 - for better portability, do not supply -Wl,--no-gc-sections
116 -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition, but sitll patch -Wl,--no-gc...
117 - new hook: patchconfig.
118
1191.2 Mon Mar 14 00:11:15 CET 2011
120 - patch CPAN::HandleConfig as there seems to be no other way to
121 keep it from clobbering the users MyConfig.pm accidentally.
122 - call cpan internally in a way so it picks up only our MyConfig.pm,
123 for extra safety and the initial calls before patching.
124 - set default cpan "installer" to EUMM, and MB is too broken
125 (it fails to build extensions statically).
126 - use "tar x" only to accomodate irix (and possibly other systems).
127
1281.11 Tue Mar 8 18:37:00 CET 2011
129 - no longer create bundle variable names from md5(data),
130 as it is no longer useful.
131 - fix output shortening in testsuite.
132
1331.1 Thu Feb 24 07:20:22 CET 2011
134 - use a better -M syntax.
135 - the one-arg form of add/binadd was broken.
136 - --add and --binadd now use the file as alias if the alias is missing.
137 - embeddable bundle files were broken because "args"
138 was used before defined.
139 - mkapp now actually passes arguments to the boot script.
140 - more cpan-testers workarounds :/.
141 - implement an ignore-env option for mkbundle.
142 - use, not just require, modules when tracing their dependencies.
143 - support an optional xs_init argument to staticperl_init, which
144 can be 0 (and is then ignored).
145 - reduce PERL_ARENA_SIZE to something more reasonable for perl 5.12.
146 - use perl 5.12.3 by default.
147 - enable debug symbols by default (but not the dreaded -DDEBUGGING).
148
1491.0 Mon Jan 10 15:13:19 CET 2011
150 - specify -Uinstallusrbinperl in configure to avoid creating
151 /usr/bin/perl.
152 - try to work around the totally broken /bin/sh on solaris
153 (only in the testsuite).
154 - use curl -f instead of just curl.
155 - prefer curl over wget again, as cpan seems to do so.
156 - clarify license.
157
1580.92 Wed Dec 22 02:09:19 CET 2010
159 - major rework of the PHASE 2 documentation section, hopefully
160 it's now more clear, more useful, more sexy.
161 - renamed --usepacklist to --usepacklists (--usepacklist still
162 supported as abbreviation).
163 - "properly" get rid of SITELIB paths, avoid using -U compiler flags
164 (which didn't even do anything...).
165 - avoid export var=value syntax for non-unix shells (solaris...).
166 - better output in the error case from the testsuite.
167
1680.912 Wed Dec 15 01:14:26 CET 2010
169 - print a longer and hopefully useful message when Configure fails.
170 - remove PERL_CPPFLAGS, replace with PERL_CCFLAGS, which get appended
171 tot he ccflags, instead of overriding them.
172 - introduce PERL_CC.
173 - work around *bsd stupidity again, where even root can't replace
174 files with mv :/.
175 - stop command processing when a command fails (e.g. staticperl mkperl
176 will stop if the install step fails).
177 - let perl do most configuration when running make test, to increase
178 chances of success.

90.911 Sat Dec 11 16:50:41 CET 2010 1800.911 Sat Dec 11 16:50:41 CET 2010
10 - argl, testsuite had a duplicated test. 181 - argl, testsuite had a duplicated test.
11 - use -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition for better portability. 182 - use -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition for better portability.
